I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the The Radisson San Jose hotel. Breakfast was delicious. The dinners that I had at the hotel were memorable. The front desk and dining staff were exceptional. I highly recommend the Radisson San Jose hotel.
Hôtel bien placé pour aller ce balader dans l’avenue centrale, proche de tout à pied, un parking payant est proche dans la rue derrière pour votre voiture afin d’être tranquille pour 1000 crc par heure.
King room with city view, 14 floor: 2 nights. July
* You will hear the music from the bar across the park until 3am. Not much noises from the regular city streets.
* No fresh air available in this hotel. All the windows are sealed.
* No fridge, no Netflix. But plenty of english channels on tv.
* good internet.
* excellent hot water, and water pressure.
* small gym ok, but no windows, and tv was not working.
* nice indoor pool, but water too cold for me. No windows but a clear dome.
* breakfast have ok choices, not much for a vegetarian.
* restaurant expensive like any other hotel, but the staff is sympathic.
* free parking.
* very nice staff.
* reservation with Trip.com was a complication, they didn't have my reservation. Took 1h to check-in. At the check-out they charged me the room that was already paid on Trip.com, had to ask for a refund, which they did, no arguying but a lot of explanations and proof of payment... but the staff was really polite and helpful.
* only 1 person working at the counter for check-in and check-out..
* easy to walk everywhere.
* easy to navigate with google map or waze.
Breakfast is OK, you can choose local food / American or fruit breakfast; the bath facilities in the room are not good, the bath pool is slow; the service is not enough, the bottled water that is welcome to stay is also not available, it needs to be charged, each bottle 3.5 US dollars seems.
Breakfast can not be chosen, can not choose, no fruit, eat fruit, add money, 2 dollars a plate. Hilton near the hotel is about the same price, and the conditions are much better.
If you're looking to explore San Jose, or have a basecamp for exploring the rest of Costa Rica, this hotel offers a great central location, situated right in the middle of San José. Good for walking to restaurants or shops in the city, or joining one of the several sight-seeing excursions which can be easily arranged by the hotel.
The rooms are nice, though the decor is a bit dated. The common areas are also well designed for lounging while reading a book or getting to know your fellow travelers staying on the same floor.
The breakfast buffet was fairly common for a hotel offering breakfast in Costa Rica, but good, and the area also doubles as a bar at night. Other amenities include a gym with free weights and a couple machines, along with two saunas, one dry and one steam.
Undiscovered gem of a hotel near San Pedro.
Pros: We were looking for a place on the lower end of the price spectrum that was a one night romantic getaway for two, that I could also use my free trip coins at toward the cost of the room. Preferably including breakfast and a swimming pool with jacuzzi 😉 Not much to ask!
We booked one of the cheaper rooms on the ground floor.
Before check in we took an Uber to San Pedro mall to do some essential shopping and see a movie. Then we checked in and I relaxed in the jacuzzi under the San José night sky while my husband enjoyed a full workout in the gym/weights room. TV with cable was great for my husband who enjoyed the football while I enjoyed the hot shower and relaxed in the bed afterwards. We had an amazingly comfortable sleep and a delicious breakfast in the morning of gallo pinto, fresh tropical fruits, freshly squeezed watermelon juice and hot coffee. A generous check out time of 12pm meant we had more than enough time to get our things together and leave when it suited.
Cons: Not many cons at this price point and value. The guy at the desk was a bit weird when we asked him for a second glass for water as there was only one in the room but not a big deal. We also had to ask him for the TV remote. The towels were a bit small like a mini dress on me after my shower. But good quality (with a third extra towel for the jacuzzi) and high quality bed linen. It also is in a slightly rough looking neighborhood but this is not a problem if you travel to and from the hotel by Uber or use a hire car (which you can park privately inside the property).
Overall impression: The other photos on trip.com and similar booking sites do not do this hotel justice - it looks far better in person. It has real character since it is a restored historic hotel from an era bygone, but that is why everything is such high quality from the bed linen to the floor tiles. Everything is also in good shape and freshly painted. There a little hidden nooks around the hotel that make it very charming. The breakfast area is lovely and the jacuzzi, pool and water slide were a real highlight. We WILL be back.
The location is great, the main attractions and Chinatown are all within the walking area, it is very suitable to choose a city check-in for a day trip. The Gold Museum downstairs needs to be booked in advance.
Very Good

We loved the staff and the location. We tried the restaurant of the hotel and found the food to be great but expensive. We liked our room but missed some basic items like a showercap and the sleepers we are used to finding in hotels like this one. They only provide 2 free bottles of water, so do not expect a couple each day like in other hotels. The internet connection was really disappointing. The bed was comfortable, and the room was ok overall.
I stayed at Delta Hotel by Marriott during my trip to Costa Rica, and it was such a great experience! The hotel is beautiful, modern, and super comfortable. From the moment I arrived, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. My room was cozy, and had a really comfortable bed — I slept well. The amenities were excellent too — loved the pool area, gym, and especially the breakfast buffet with plenty of delicious local and international options. The location was also very convenient, close to shops, restaurants, and just a short drive from the airport. It made exploring the area really easy.
Great location and exceptional views. Well appointed rooms with tasteful modern decor. Accommodating and helpful staff. Sparkle clean rooms and common areas. Best stay in San Jose.
Centrally located , 30 minute taxi ride from the airport (17,500 CRC). Good sized bedroom & bathroom - furniture dated but functional. Check in was swiftly undertaken. Nice breakfast.
I booked this hotel for the night prior to departing to the airport. I was shocked how beautiful this hotel is and wished I knew earlier. Service and friendliness of the staff was excellent, food at the Japanese restaurant was pretty good too. Shuttle to airport was convenient, definitely would stay here again when in Costa Rica. Nice area but a car would be best to get around San Jose.
We had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Balmoral San José. The rooms are surprisingly spacious, which made it easy to relax in. The beds were very comfortable and we slept really well throughout our stay. One thing to be aware of is that many rooms — including all of the Superior Plus rooms — have their windows facing into a dark gap between the buildings rather than outside. This means you don’t get natural light or a view, which was a bit disappointing. That said, the staff were absolutely great — friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist. Overall, a very good hotel in an excellent central location, and we would happily stay here again.
Check in was great. Status was recgnised and we were given a room upgrade. Hotel is located on the corner of Sabana Park and just 35 mins walk to town of a quicker uber. Its safe to walk in the evening to the nearby 3 restaurants and the supermarket across the road. Pool is large and spotless but a bit chilly this time of year. Breakfast is a highlight with great egg station and fruit/yoghurt station. Gym is big and open 24hrs. Definitely recommend staying here as its one of the safest hotels and safest locations in town. Great mountain views too.
